Grandparents cannot "adopt" blood relatives - however they MAY become 'Guardians' of them. Unsure what kind of 'benefits' you are speaking of when you describe them as "va" benefits. Are you speaking of Veteran's benefits or benefits from the state of Virginia.... WHAT kind of benefits?
In Texas, grandparents do not have automatic legal rights to visit their grandchildren. However, they may petition the court for visitation rights under certain circumstances, such as if the grandchild's parent is deceased, incarcerated, or if it is in the child's best interest to have visitation with the grandparent.
It depends entirely on the grandchild's legal guardian(s). They have control over the affairs of the child, so if the grandparents may or may not be permitted to see their grandchild.
Grandparents don't have a automatic legal right to see their grandchild. It's entirely up to the parents. In some states a grandparent can petition for visitation and the parents will be heard as well and usually the court wont go against the parents wishes. It depends on the circumstances.
As a grandparent, you can ask the intake worker from Child Protective Services (CPS) if you can visit your grandchild, but you will be prevented from allowing your son access to same child. You do have the right to retain an attorney and move the court, if necessary, as an "intervenor" for grandparent's visitation rights to said child. Dean Tong, MSc. abuse-excuse.com
No. They have no automatic "right" to custody. However, if the parents are deemed to be unfit the grandparents can petitionto be appointed the legal guardians. The court will review the situation and render a decision based on the best interest of the child.

Yes
Yes. The minor parents have the same rights over their child as adult parents do. The grandparents have no legal right to the grandchild.
If you go to the right place maybe they will make you a custom jigsaw puzzle with a picture of your grandchild. They will if they say the accept that stuff.
Not only is it legal it is the humanitarian right course of action. In the United States, sadly the majority of children who are ( put up) for adoption were abandoned by their parents. War and accident orphans do occur, but are in the minority.
Right now, there's 19 children and 1 grandchild - and counting!
The father can file for it himself. It's every parents right even if they are minors.
